Thanks for the fantastic explanation...I knew something was up with DTV. The signal going Bye-Bye during some of the lightest rains and forget about it during an average to heavy rain...Frustrating living in the midwest and needing local TV weather reports during severe storms (Heavy...

Yes. DirecTV uses that Ka-band for its high-definition services, while dish uses the more powerful DBS Ku band for all but it's International services. the Ka-band that DirecTV uses was originally allocated for internet by Satellite services, but nearly at the last moment, DirecTV had Boeing...

I think the trick with LPB is to have it be on full power AND have the cojones to climb up that far on the roof. At the same time. [emoji1] I've had LPB in the past, but it hasn't been reliable in years, even on the motorized 90cm. Sent from my SGH-T999 using the SatelliteGuys app!

Hi Folks, I'll try my best explaining what I saw... I have a GI 650i analog C/Ku band receiver. And I bought it on ebay back in 2004. And is still using it and RUNNING since. What I discovered when I was using it o salve with the GEO SAT RO HDVR-3500 Digital FTA receiver, for a LONG...

Difficult to post using questions and comments from a flat file (PDF). I reformatted your PDF to a more forum friendly format to reply, using the quote function to compose. A simple addition of a short 8-12" linear actuator on a bracket controlling the declination setting could provide the...

Welcome to SatelliteGuys! Nice rescue! Thanks for sharing the PDF and your project. It is a fun and take warning... an addicting hobby! A few notes about the project. The dish may need slight declination adjustments (shims) to accurately track the arc with the HH actuator. Many dishes were...

1) I finally got around to trying timer recordings. (Previously, I had just hit the record button while watching a channel.) I've found that whenever a recording completes, it apparently shuts off the LNB power! When turning the box back on after recording, there is no signal on any...

Thanks, did a manual transponder scan on that one and got nothing, I might try a different lnbf on the dish. The one on it is old and pretty beat up. I'm actually surprised I locked anything on 125 ku at all, it's been a tough one here in the past. I might lose it once the leaves come out full...

They are sending packets filled with the letter "T". No kidding. Below is a screenshot of a small section of a 4 GB recording I made. Aside from the BBHeaders and CADU headers the payload is entirely 'T'. Yes. That's what I had to do to get it to start streaming. Once it did I was able to...

I figured they were sending something. I don't think the transponder is a full power though. It seems weaker then when 16 was there. Considering what weather01089 and KWX are getting on the East coast the satellite should be around a 9.5 dB C/N here. The cookie can feed works. I don't doubt...

I was there last night, 131W and tried all the DC transponders and found that none were open then. Could it be different today? Most certainly!! If my memory serves correctly, I think I recall seeing something about them being open yesterday. If so, it was not long lived. Sometimes they...

5 TV's on a Hopper 3 system: A Hopper 3 has 16 tuners so it should satisfy your needs. 4 Joey 3s will give independent tuning at the other 4 TV's The 2 6ft. dishes with DPP lnbs should be connected to a DPH42 switch to give you the required HYBRID signals To connect the Joeys I believe you need...

A Super Joey can not be used on multiple Hopper systems. You would have to have separate MoCA networks for each of the Hoppers that have a Super Joey connected.

I'm in Alaska.I have two(2) six(6)foot dishes one pointed at 119 (on transponder 19 I get 52 on a sunny day)and the other at 129 (on transponder 24 I get 20 on a sunny day) with DPP lnb's going to DP44 (with powered line on input 1) and DP33 .I have four (4) ViP722's (running five(5) tv's now)...

Every so often I get pixelization on some HD channels and my signal is high 90’s. Example: Discovery HD was really bad so I tried Syfy HD and it was fine then went back to Discovery HD and it was still happening. I know both channels are on the 99CA satellite just different...

So I'm still probably better off with the offset LNB on 87 using the 90cm dish?

I would at the very least take anything you read from Lyngsat and multiply it by 1.5. What you get from Lyngsat is with the transponder running at full power and QSPK. Link budgets dictate power, and 99% of the time, power is not a full bore. Plus, everything now is going to DVB-S2 and 8APSK...

GOOD NEWS.... Over the weekend, I decided to give a shot to use my FTA receiver, which I slaves with the analog receiver. The FTA receiver is a GEOSAT PRO PVR3500. With analog GI 650i C.Ku band receiver. I was able to watch some digital satellite channels which they're all on Horizontal...

A DiSEqC switch typically only powers the selected port. If there is only a DiSEqC switch and a single LNB or LNBF, it is likely within the STBs rating. Check the LNB manufacturers specs against the measured draw on a vertical transponder. Many meters and some STBs display the current draw. I...

Honestly, the footprint charts are near zero percent accuracy for reflector size. Every service's link budget is different and rarely is a transponder uplinked at full bandwidth or full power. The size recommendation never takes into consideration the size necessary for a beamwidth preventing...

FYI, I have a list of transponders on about 5 or 6 satellites that have the CORRECT TIME! I set the time on my Micro HD by those satellites, THEN TURN OFF AUTO TIME SET in local time setting. It will STAY on that time, even in standby mode and will even move to satellite transponders with...

Excellent insight as to the performance of this receiver!

Yeah, according to that map, I ought to be able to get 125 with a 50-65cm dish :biggrin2

At Lyngsat you can click on the transponder number area and link to a satellite footprint map with those values. But they are not really useful because they take for granted that everything is the best it can get, the highest power, lowest data rate, best FEC, etc. In real life you will find a...

about receiving Circular on a Linear setup, i want to point out that yes, many circular transponders will be receivable at the cost of a small power loss, but only if they don't interfere with signal on the opposite polarity For example if there's a transponder on 3840 L that is 20MHz wide, and...
